Course Description

SEO beginner? Let me show you how to get high ranking in searches by learning the basics of search engine optimization. It's SEO easy!
In this course, I show you how I get 1,000 visitors a day - that's a third of a million people a year. And it's not the mythical 'hits' that some people boast about. These are real live humans.
AND IF YOU ARE A WEB DESIGNER, APPLICATION DEVELOPER, FREELANCER, THIS COULDN'T BE MORE APPROPRIATE. YOU ARE SELLING TO EXACTLY THE SAME AUDIENCE I SELL TO.
And I did all the search engine optimization myself. I don't pretend to be an SEO guru. In fact, I hate technology, but I realized some time ago that your rankings in Google searches are too valuable to entrust to others. There's no need to spend a fortune with SEO companies when you can achieve astounding results yourself - without any technical expertise. After all, no-one knows your business like you do, and no one can be as highly motivated.
Does it work?
These are the results of some of my key phrase Google rankings (PS I am a copywriter)
IT Copywriter - position number one out of over 13 million competing sites
Brochure Copywriter - top position out of 375,000 competing sites
White Paper Copywriter - number one out of 233,000 sites
Logistics Copywriter - top out of half a million site
Copy and Paste
In this search engine optimization training course, there's no sales hype. I just lift the kimono and show you exactly what I did to my own site and you can do exactly the same to your site just 'copy and paste'. And, yes, it does take into account the latest changes that Google has made to its ranking algorithm.
A jargon-free zone
We start very gently, taking a bite at a time. In the entire course there are just six hard-core jargon words (I couldn't avoid those). They are search engine optimization basics, so they are easy to understand. The rest is pure layman's language. Each video introduces a new concept and is followed by a downloadable pdf, so you have a hard copy and can add notes of your own.
Oh and I am very accessible. Any queries, or anything not clear, just email me.I am here to help.
  • WARNING: If you are already proficient at SEO, this course is NOT for you. It's not for 'techies', so you will be disappointed and frustrated. It is intended for people like me, too occupied running my business to want to get down to the minutia. I just want top ratings and that's what I get.
Who this course is for:
  • Anyone starting up in business especially companies offering a service (designers, web developers, freelancers)
  • Anyone building a new website.
  • Anyone with an underperforming website.
  • Anyone wanting hundreds of new visitors a day, but doesn't want the hassle of technicalities.
  • Web designers who would like to differentiate themselves by really understanding how Google thinks
  • Anyone who wants to be in control of their site's destiny

A very nice but basic intro to seo. I was honestly looking for a bit more maybe some secrets or hacks but perhaps this is all fake jargon put out there by internet "gurus". I knew a lot of what he was teaching already but there were a few golden nuggets that I did not know about. He simplified the process and made me realize that i can certainly spare and hour or two a week to work on this. Great overall!

At the beginning of the course, Len warns that it's "not for geeks/experts". Well, I'm a geek, and although the course is not technical, it has some very useful information about SEO. The content is also pretty clear and nicely laid out. Perhaps I wouldn't recommend it to someone with a lot of previous SEO experience, but I believe geeks and non-geeks alike can benefit from the course.

One of the best Udemy classes I have seen I really love the print out, I wish more instructors would do this, plus you don't hog the camera when talking you share it with content the reader can see. I rate this site a 10 but they only let me do 5. I went to Lens website it was a great website well done. A little dreary color scheme, with the off black, or dark grey. But if, it is working for Mr. Smith I'm tickle pink what I or others say.

So far it is the best course fot seo beginner. I love the fact that I can implement what he teaches in the course to my website....love it

Very informative. Takes the mystery out of SEO. A very practical how-to class delivered in a very easy to listen to and easy to understand format. Thank you Len.

If you get tired of Web designers and developers speaking in words you don't understand and no matter how you try to get them to teach you but then are hell-bent on fleecing you, please don't hesitate to take this course. The good thing with Len's courses is that it gives you the foundation to immediately apply what you learn and find additional creative ways to utilise what you have learned.

I am a beginner and I loved the detail that was given and at the pace it was given in. Usually I am slowing down the speed of these courses but did not have to. Course teacher was clear and concise. Maybe to basic for some but it was just perfect for me who is not very techy and a true beginner with just a bit of experience with SEO and keywords.

Thanks for this course, I really enjoyed it and there is no jargon, or bluffering, it gets straight to the point so that you can get moving with SEO for your website. It was great to learn the basic things I need to know NOW rather than wading through lots of material that might not be relevant to me at this stage. Id already taken a different SEO course on udemy, which was good but too advanced for me (despite me being very computer literate.. ) This was perfect and Len gave me a lot of personal support via message... very helpful !

Great for beginners. I'm familiar with SEO, but this went into a level of digestible detail that I was able to absorb in a relatively short period of time. I feel like I have a solid overview of how SEO works. Not that I'm an expert, but for those starting out with SEO, this is a great class that outlines and gives examples of the basics without getting too technical.

I liked the course it was very useful and the instructor made it easy to learn.

So very many people with expert knowledge of their subject cannot explain it without lapsing into the jargon of that subject. Jargon which may be unintelligible to the average non-expert. Len Smith, a copywriter, displays his copywriting expertise by explaining everything clearly without needing to lapse into jargon. A gentle breeze that blows away the murky fog!

This course gave me a lot of inspiration. I did not know very much about SEO before taking the course and I am on fire now to check out all the opportunities Google offers to people having a website.
